Tryout Fee
The cost for the Tryout is $35 for early bird until May 1st, $50 after May 1st, and is non-refundable.
Tryout Process
Tryouts are comprised of 3 parts:
Physical Test
a. All athletes are first physically tested (height, reach, approach jump, block jump, and shuttle run).
Skills Assessment
a. All athletes are statistically and subjectively evaluated on their individual skills such as hitting, setting, passing, digging and blocking skills.
Live Play
a. All athletes will have multiple opportunities to play in various situations like 3 vs 3, 4 vs 4, 6 vs 6 drills.
At the end of the tryout, the process for announcing teams will be explained to all participants. Not everyone is guaranteed a spot. Participants accept their spot by signing the player contract and paying the $550 initial payment. If you pay the initial payment within three days of the tryout date, the initial payment will be only $500. The contract and payment are all online. Player contracts will be emailed to the parent's e-mail address that you provided when registering for tryouts.
No experience is required to tryout for Paradox. We have a range of playing experience levels on all of our teams.

Teams
Teams are generally composed of 10-12 athletes grouped in the same age division. Depending on ability, athletes may be selected to play in older age divisions. Our teams practice twice a week. Each practice is 2-3 hours in duration. Practice times could be anytime between 9am-9pm on Saturdays and from 5:30pm-10:00pm Mondays through Thursdays. Our teams compete in local events, tournaments across Texas, and also national volleyball tournaments against other boys' volleyball clubs.
The Season
Practices
Practices will start the first week of October. Teams will practice Tuesdays and Thursdays at Order on the Court through November. After November the teams will move to a single weekday practice. Each team will also have a team practice and training session with Texas Made Athletics on Saturdays at SA Magic Volleyball’s gym.
Competitions
Teams mostly play in 2 day tournaments which start in December and end early July. Every team will have a very extensive travel schedule with multiple in state and out of state tournaments. Tournaments will typically start at 12-noon on a Saturday, play 3 to 5 matches verses different teams over a 6 to 8 hour period. Then come back on Sunday 8am and play 2 or more matches. Tournament schedules are usually developed after the teams are formed as most tournaments do not announce their dates until December. Exact playing schedules (of each tournament) are posted online usually by the Wednesday before.
End of Season
All teams are scheduled to play until July ending their season at the USA Volleyball Boys Jr National Championships or AAU Boys National Championships. See tournament schedule for length of season for each team.
